Sanchez is 29 and has pretty much no upside for anything else other than a good defensive infielder, those guys do come at a dime a dozen for organizations, so it's not surprising that he was unprotected. I do appreciate that Rick is trying to add more versatile players.

Sanchez has a chance to be a slight upgrade to Ray Olmeda. If he sucks in spring training, it only costs them 25 grand to send him back to the Angels.
